Home Schedules Set for Joel Barlow High's Fall Sports

Summer is going by quickly and before we know it school will be back in session. That also means fall sports for Joel Barlow High School. Falcons football players will put on their pads for hard-hitting games on the gridiron; field hockey and soccer teams will dig in to defend their goals, girls' volleyball will hold serve, boys and girls cross country teams will lace up for long races; and members of the girls swim team will put on their goggles to compete in the water.
